The rhythmic pressing of the treadles, the feel of the fiber through my fingers, the motion of the flyer spinning the fiber onto the bobbin combine to prooduce a connection to past spinners and future projects that relaxes me.Renatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03434436112713462115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-53093920423934834752012-12-03T04:36:41.751-06:002012-12-03T04:36:41.751-06:00How nice to be designated a Wise Woman.

The closest I get to a daily moment of anything resembling peace is when, after nursing my younger son before he goes to sleep at night, I sit in the chair in his warm, relatively quiet room for a few minutes, with him asleep in my lap. Mostly to gather my strength before re-entering the fray with my older son, who I can always hear racing around downstairs, thumping and yelling.<br /><br />It&#39;s a long way from a cleansing soak, but it&#39;s all I got at the moment.Kristin @ Going Countryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-76026012443433851192012-12-02T17:52:16.758-06:002012-12-02T17:52:16.758-06:00There is nothing better than flannel (sheets or a ...There is nothing better than flannel (sheets or a quilt) and a good book. :)Elizabeth S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10700514545691566198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-5202273567351747492012-12-02T10:35:00.779-06:002012-12-02T10:35:00.779-06:00Hi Lisa,

I don&#39;t think that sounds silly at all - in fact I think it sounds perfect, partly because milking is something you HAVE to do every day, so there&#39;s no excuse not to skip your meditation.

Sadly, it has come to my attention that I am far busier than most people I know... which also means that I do not take nearly the amount of self-nurturing time that I should. I take yoga when I can, nuzzle the furballs, walk the dog a mile every evening, and since obtaining my MA I have always made sure to make the time to read for pleasure. Sadly, my quilting and herbals are the first to be set aside to make other deadlines. Unless it&#39;s winter or summer break!

Maybe it&#39;s a farmgirl thing, but I can so relate to your essay where some of the others, not so much. It may sound silly but milking the goat is actually my daily self-care/meditation practice. It&#39;s just her and I and I am totally in the moment. :)<br />P.S.

Those two are the biggest and the ones that there are no room for brokering. <br />I try to eat food that is good for me and that tastes good and do the best for myself I can, when I can. <br />Love the Wise Women Council!
